*shutter* A little sweet tea is OK, like a glass every now and again, but I cannot drink much more then that. SIL makes sweet tea all the time, a little goes a long way, I like to feel refreshed after drinking tea not sugar highed

It's a southern thing we love it down here . The sugar buzz that is .  or come to think of it just about any buzz . A wedding with an open bar is my dream of heaven . Even better when the Two mothers of the groom are there and the father of the groom is there and he is my nephew and I get an invite and he is talking about going back to Jersey  with the mother of the Bride who happens to be his new DILs mother . and the other of the mother of the groom hates him and I find this all very funny and the open bar made it even funnier so I laughed through the whole weeding . drank to much danced to much and now my knee hurts to much . Did I leave anything out . Oh yeah don't know why the wedding was now the baby is already five years old so I'm thinking there might be another one coming Don't matter round here we love kids and critters cept for rats  possoms coons and some two legged critters .well coons make good hats . so maybe we don't hate them sooooooo much . and with a lot of pepper they don't taste to bad . now did I leave anything out nope reckon not . now wrap up my knee put some chickens on for Ben and gather the eggs .

Here's a recipe close to what I had with dinner (just add tortilla strips). New Mexico...go figure. Really tasty, though!

You can get Posole everywhere here, pretty traditional, and usually delicious. The meal is not complete without a side of sopapillas and honey though!

No chickens, LOL.  I am trying to set aside 30 years of experience as a server and telecom administrator and solutions engineer and learn how to be an entry level programmer for the brave new world of cloud solutions.  

It's cool, but I would like to see the youngsters teaching the class try to do what old school hands on can do.

Ah! So that's why you're in the Research Triangle and that's why I no longer live there!

make sure you try BBQ and Brunswick Stew in Durham with a side of Hush Puppies!

I'm only here today and tomorrow, leaving Wed evening and no car...so not much exploring going on.  Sounds good, though!

Yeah, the company I work for opened an office here.  It's a whole different culture, a whole different generation.  They're smart, they're quick, but without someone to run the servers they are like fish out of water.  Even if the servers don't really exist, either...

My mottled were the d'Uccle. I took a few days off, that's why I've been gone. Sold that whole flock, took out that small coop, then built a much larger coop and moved the BCM to that pen. Moved the juvie AMs to the grow out pen, moved the indoor brooder babies to the outdoor brooder, then moved the incubator babies to the indoor brooder. It was a full weekend...

Every year I have to catch at least one and relocate him to the Nat'l Forest. Always a black rat snake. Longest I ever caught was over 8ft.

Well, we got each other...

Got home early from work and snuck up on him!

So, while I'm still here (won't be in a few more minutes, then "not here" for about 8 hours, theoretically...) is there any reason that this is a bad idea?

If you can't tell, that's a twist tie (the heavier kind that's wrapped around electrical cords, not the bread bag kind) holding the hygrometer probe onto the thermometer in the Brinsea.

New ducks or did they just find their quacks? What kind are they? Very cute.
